Much has been written about this incident, especially on Statter911.com,but I wanted to show the history of E282, the 1988 Seagrave which started with the now defunct Landover Hills VFD #30.I first shot this rig on 10/8/1988 at a Hyattsville VFD dedication ceremony, its paint scheme, striping, and lettering were changed several timesby both owners, it ran for years in white/red before being rehabbed and painted in Co. 28's scheme.RE33 from Kentland was a 2000 Pierce Dash model, made famous by a Code 3 model, and was a well-used rig.Rig photos by me and from collection, damaged rig pics via PGFD PIO and news sources.

I am currently a member at Station 810, and I could see it from our apron. While we were not called, I did listen and watch it unfold on TGA7 and our CAD. Also note that RE833 was acting as RS833, as their pump was OOS. There has been critical analyses of their placement due to this as per our GOs they now acting as a special service should have been most likely far away on alpha. Their website provides and interesting viewpoint of events: http://www.kentland33.com/news/fullstory/newsid/219012
